Lori was so pleasant! Got a variety pack and she asked if we wanted them sliced, gave us two things of cream cheese, lots of napkins and knifes. Great fast service! Love this location read more

I enjoy the bakery section. Panera is safe if you want predictable, the meal menu is a little limited for my taste. My family really the chicken noodle soup! read more

The staff is Great, but the process is terrible. When you check in at the counter in the morning to order your beverage and pastry, the pastry is prepared and then you wait until someone has time to fix your drink. Many times, this can be 10 minutes or more. Bagels are doughy. After double toasting the bagels, they are still doughy. Booth seats are bottomed out, and the bathrooms are filthy. Most staff are wonderful, however one of the staff hasn't washed their hair in probably a week. Food and beverage is in the details. Panera, you are dated and stale. Get some young blood and clean it up. read more

The food is always good they are getting a little pricey ..but hey so is everything! Two people plan that it will cost u at least 25 30$$$ read more

The bakery side was out of all bagels except the Asiago cheese ... there were several bins full of those. Very disappointing not to find a selection. The employee was not friendly and didn't offer any other bakery good. We drive out if our way to this location and was highly disappointed. read more

The staff is extremely rude to those who pick up for DoorDash often ignoring them and making them wait when an order is sitting there ready to go? All they'd have to do is hand it out read more

Went to Panera tonight and the food was amazing as always. I felt that the service was great also, but the manager that was working there was being absolutely horrible to her employees. She was belittling them and made them flustered. It was sad to watch. I made sure to tell the girls they were all doing great and that I was sorry they were being treated that way. I hope the manager learns to be more of a leader and less of a bully. The girls making the food were all so kind and sweet and didn't deserve to be treated like that. I'll definitely come back because I love Panera, but I hope that manager gets an attitude check. She was awful. I've worked in management and have never treated my employees the way I saw her treat those girls tonight. The 5 stars are for the food and the girls working. Didn't get their names, but one is named Emma I believe. I would give the manager 1 star. read more

Seems more times than not they get our order incorrect and are out of bread. They are a bakery so not sure how/why that happens.

Came in to grab a quick breakfast sandwich and coffee. Nothing quick about this and it's fairly annoying. I waited around 20-25 minutes for my order because the group of 3 who ordered ahead of me got 18 bagels all sliced and toasted and for some reason that took 3 employees to complete. Food and coffee were good tho. read more

Went here with my FIL, he got a coffee and a pastry, we got two coffees. He was real impressed by the pastry and said it was real good. My husband loves his chai tea latte and my vanilla latte was delicious when it was hot. When it got cold, it was too sweet(or that the syrup was all at the bottom) pretty standard Panera, just like all other Panera. read more

Panera is usually our go to for a salad lunch. I have never before been in a Panera that was dirty like we found at Osage Beach, Missouri. read more

Overall, this location is no different than any other location around the country. Today I did run into an associate who did not know how to answer any of my questions, but other than that, the experience was not a bad one. I will say, however, that this place closes down four hours early randomly for "employee training for new menu items". I think this is bs simply because I've never seen any other Panera Bread location do this!! Anyway. I tried the new Tortellini Alfredo pasta bowl for lunch today. I recommend this pasta bowl to those seeking a bland pasta dish. Aside from the quick-service and convenience of Panera Bread, I personally feel this menu item is overpriced for the amount and quality the dish offers. I enjoyed half of the pasta bowl in the parking lot, lawnside overlooking the lake, and the remaining portion at home. Before digging in for a second time I was sure to add Garlic, Brady Cheese Sprinkle, and Pepper! Penzeys spices do a world of difference! On my next visit I will stick to my Chocolate Croissant and Vermont White Cheddar Mac 'n' Cheese instead! read more

Panera Bread - New Tortellini Alfredo from Panera Bread. - Sandwiches Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

Typical Panera. I have stopped here off and on for a good while. Same good quality that you expect. Everything was fresh. Place was clean...staff was courteous. I will stop at this one again. Something new! They do not ask you your name. They give you a buzzer. You order, have a seat, and they bring your order to you. Nice. read more

My husband's sandwich has this rotten piece of lettuce on it. We understand it's a busy restaurant and sometimes things get missed, but this was pretty gross... read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

If I based my review on one experience, I would've given less stars tonight. But fortunately for Osage Beach Panera, I'm not one of those people. Overall, this place is usually on point and fairly quick. I've always found it to be clean here and the staff is friendly. Tonight, with a near empty dining area and only one other person in line at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday, the service was as slow as humanly possible. I counted at least 5 people working behind the counter so it wasn't a staffing issue. I ordered two family soups and four loafs of baguette bread. It took forever. This really isn't the norm for this place and I can only assume that maybe they're training new hires or something. I'll be back for sure. Hopefully they're back to their usual best next time. read more

10.8.18 730 am. Looks like they're training a new crew and guess what? They still don't say good morning or thank you, the vibe is still rude. At least the bread is still good. I have never been to a Panera where none of the customers who walked up to the register were NOT greeted. There was older gentleman, WWII vet in front of me and he seemed to be hard of hearing. The woman w/the ugly and sour attitude, acted like she was doing him a favor. The kid that took care of me, just stared at us until my wife asked him if he was supposed to greet us. He didn't get it. F- 3.25.18 10:15am read more

Good location of Panera it's pretty much half way between Osage Beach and Camdenton. I really wish this location had a drive thru. I never realized how valuable drive thrus are until I had a child. It's pouring rain, she's asleep and this mama needed coffee. I still ended up with a Chai Latte which was super rich with cardamom and frothy. I definitely would get this coffee again. read more

Absolutely the worst Panera I have ever been to for two people it was $34 for two pic two and drinks About five couples in there we waited 45 minutes when we get our food it was cold the bathrooms were disgusting every table was dirty and it wasn't even busy read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Tried to order breakfast online and said it was unavailable before 11am??? I go in and wait in line for 20 minutes and then refused to serve breakfast to everyone who had been waiting there. Totally unprofessional and the worst Panera I have ever stepped foot in. Don't waste your time coming here every employee lacked any sense of urgency in a peak time. Ridiculous. I don't live in this state but I'm never coming here again. read more

Usually enjoy stopping at Panera, however today is not going so well. Waited 10-15 mins to place my order (to go) and have now waited another 15 minutes and still do not have my order. Yes they are busy, however there are 8 people behind the counter. Should take too long to toast bagels and microwave some eggs and meat. Luckily, do not live down here, so this will be the only time I visit this Panera Bread read more

I love Panera and would love to continue to but every single time this past week they have forgotten items we paid for even though we order in person and directly to the workers. Does saying the words "to-go" just mean complacency? One time, ok cool it happens, but consecutive days in a row. It's upsetting. read more

This location has quality food and drinks, good and friendly service, and an awesome view of the lake.

I typically love Panera restaurants but...I ordered the Spicy Thai Chicken salad which I always get. I also ordered kids meals. One of my children wanted the baguette with his sandwich. The cashier asked me if he wanted the yogurt and I said no he really likes the baguettes. They did not give me a pager. I saw my food sitting on the counter for a few minutes and went up and asked if the order was finished because it appeared to be. They said it was so I took it to my table. I noticed before I left the counter that they gave my son yogurt so I told them he had requested the baguette which they then threw on his plate. They also didn't give me a fork with my salad so I found a plastic one near the take out section. Once I mixed up my salad and took a few bites, I noticed it did not have the edamame, carrots, red peppers and wonton strips in it. See attached photo - it is not as colorful as usual. In the meantime, two other customers that were sitting near me complained that their orders were either not complete or not right. This was a Saturday evening and they were not busy. I went back to the counter to get cookies and the one person behind the counter knew I was waiting but couldn't stop what she was doing to help me. The other two employees didn't notice that I was waiting because they were talking to each other. Disappointed. read more

Panera Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

Great food! Order was correct! Perfect curbside pickup with contactless payment. Well worked out system. Thanks Panera! You are a rarity.

I was told by a friend that the Panera store in Osage Beach, Mo requires a mask for in-store dining. Having been a customer for years, happily stopped there for lunch today, initially pleased that every customer had a mask on. A couple of others who came in after we did, had no mask on and staff told them a mask was required and provided a mask to them, which they put on. Good so far. Then a young guy came bouncing in without a mask and was never confronted by the manager or staff. He ordered, got his food and sat down across the wall from us. Soon, two other customers entered, ordered and ate, never being asked to wear a mask. So what am i to expect? The large sign at the door clearly says a mask is required, yet three customers in a matter if 30 minutes were allowed to order without one. To make matters worse the guy i mentioned above, as he was leaving told four gals who were about to turn around having read the sign, that go on in...they will wait on you. Jeeez. read more

Went there yesterday to reward myself with a favorite dish after a long day - around 5:30PM. The girl at the register seemed like she had no clue what was going on or who to ask. For instance: I asked about getting a chicken salad sandwich on croissant to which she said "I don't think we have any more croissants??" while she looked around behind her, trying to find the bread... which was at the other end of the restaurant, opposite of where she was looking. I asked for a recommendation and she suggested tomato basil. I also asked if I could order a bread bowl "to go". and she said yes. So I ordered my soup along with my second order for the chick salad sandwich. She then said "what kind of sandwich?" so for the third time, I told her the sandwich I wanted. She retracted the bread suggestion and said I should get white. I said, "great - then I would like a chicken salad sandwich on white bread". I also repeated the soup order. She then asked about sides and I gave her my choices. At the end she repeated the order and I reiterated again that I wanted the soup in a bread bowl. To which she said "got it". When I got my order, I left and headed home, only to find a cup of soup (no bread bowl) and chicken salad ordered with "no bread". I was SO hangry and exhausted, I just ate it - but mama really needed her carbs today! Not only that, I feel jipped; I literally spent $14 on a scoop of chicken salad, four tomato and 2 lettuce slices paired with a cup of mediocre soup. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if I hadn't repeated my order NUMEROUS times and we had a detailed conversation about the dang bread for the sandwich! The staffer working the register definitely needs more training and better listening skills. I mean, come on! Aside from that, the fella with longer hair that was plating the sandwiches and to-go orders was lovely. He was pleasant and attentive and patient. He had obviously had a long day but was still very kind, easy-going and amazing. Call me! :-) read more

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch one day. The food was pretty good. It came out hot and fresh. I had the broccoli cheddar soup and strawberry poppyseed salad. HOWEVER, the reason I'm only giving two stars is because this place is so insanely dirty, it blows my mind how people find it comforting to eat here. Ok, so the food appeared fresh, but this seriously makes me question what the kitchen could possibly look like. The floor was covered in trash and crumbs. Everything was sticky. The staff was not friendly. I wouldn't go back. read more

Place was FILTHY food all over the floor. Trash cans overflowing,drink station was destroyed. Staff was more occupied with each other than working. Staff member at the oven was bouncing the wooden bread spatula on the floor while waiting for bread. took forever to get our food. It was not busy at all. Ordered a strawberry field salad without chocked since my fiancé is a vegetarian. Salad came out with chicken on it: 25 minute wait for a salad that was wrong and a cold turkey sammich! Worst bread co ever read more

The worst panera ever. Maybe they don't understand they are going to overrun with customers at the lake on weekend. Employees seemed as unhappy as the customers. All I wanted was a fattening soufflé --- you know- I'm on vacay! Dude told me 25-30 minutes. Did no one notice that there were 30 people in line, and that perhaps they should put some in the oven!?! So I ordered something different. But I swear as I was leaving 10 minutes later- I heard on the speaker "Lindsay -your soufflés are ready." read more

i ordered a half dozen bagels and a coffee and mac and cheese, and once i got my order, i trusted them with my meal and left without checking. i get to my car and on my way back home i checked and only got my bagels without the rest of my meal!!! the audacity to forget the key to completing my meal. never again will i return to this establishment. read more

Stopped in for quick pickup of breakfast. 6 bagels and a few pastries were the haul. Everyone enjoyed there meal, and no complaints. Typical Panera you would find anywhere in the United States, except in Phoenix, AZ. (Sorry Kristin) read more

So disappointed in my lunch! Chicken Caesar salad was clearly made yesterday: old lettuce, saturated with dressing. 1/2 salad cost me twice as much as a Mac Donald's salad, which is always fresh and crisp! read more

Wasn't very busy, maybe ten people in line, but most of the staff including Manager (at least eight people behind the counter)were talking to themselves instead of waiting on customers. Spilled cream, empty coffee canisters, food on the floor and no one on the floor cleaning. Dirtiest, slowest Panera I have ever seen. read more

Slowest service at any panera we have been to. They we're out of iced tea, got one of our orders incorrect, failed to inform is of our rewards earned, and served small portion sizes in comparison to other panera restaurants throughout the U.S. read more

They completely messed up my order. I was not pleased with the service I received. I paid for what I ordered, and got half of what I paid for. Very unhappy with the experience. read more

My family and I decided eat at this Panera Bread because we all all fans for the restaurant. When we arrived, the staff was not friendly or energetic at all. Multiple items were out and it was only four o'clock. The bathrooms were very dirty. The food was totally not up to par. My drink order was incorrect. The overall feel did not meet our standards for a Panera Bread restaurant. read more

Bad. Ceaser salad dressing was spoiled. French onion soup in a bread bowl had maybe a teaspoon of cheese. This place has really went down hill. read more

I have gone to this Panera at least once whenever I'm at the lake for a weekend. Today was by far the worst service I've received there. There was one person in front of me waiting to get their order taken. It took 15 minutes before being asked to take my order. After order was placed i was standing by the counter in line waiting for my food. One of the ladies working was placing pieces of food in her mouth while working with customers food and not washing hands or changing gloves. The manager was working with the ovens/toasters I saw him put my wrap in and start the timer and when it went off ignored the timer and I watched the wrap burn and the edges get black and crispy the manager started making a new one forgetting that mine was already cooking and that is when he had realized that the one he had cooked was burnt. He also burned 2 other customers sandwiches in the 15 minutes i waited after ordering to receive my order. read more

The Osage Beach Panera had always been my go to for lunch. On my recent visit with my daughter and granddaughter, ordered the 99 cent bakery treat with our meals. After finishing our meals, went to the counter to pick our treats to go. Were out of many items and then was told we could only pick a cookie. I have always picked my favorite orange scone. After paying almost $12 for a pick two with a drink, you should be able to pick what you want, that's what I expected. No change in the signage. Will never order the bakery treat again, the cookie is barely worth 99 cents. Another recent change that angers me, is asking for a tip when placing our order at the counter. This is rude in my opinion for a restaurant where you stand in line to place your order, make your own drink or pick up at the counter, and then have to clear your own dirty dishes. Pay your employees a fair wage. Will be avoiding this Panera. My favorite similar restaurant in Springfield,Mo is Neighbors Mill. Leaves Panera in the dust, better prices, quality fresh food, and very friendly staff. Wish they would come to the Lake. read more
